ence the name of Baptiste, and the lone
grave under the singing pines had faithful
and tender watchers. And the setting sun
peeping through the dark branches, beheld
many times a ugh-bearded group OF
lumberman sitting under the trees. specu-
lating concerning the silent sleeper and
those bereaved by death.
And one day Tom Terrell carved the
name Baptiste on rough pine slab and
put it at the head of the grave. with the re-
mark that 'twould be huff aisier to pint to
thin to tell the whole ov it." Little did
he realize then. what he did afteIward,
that the telling ov it" would be more
sorrowful and tragical then even his great
Irish heart had believed.
In early autumn came beautiful, balmy
day, such day as when the ''south wind
searches tor the flowers" and the requiem
of slow, sweet music from its harp, lin
gered in tender cadence in the scattering
pines on the bluff. and died away murmur-
ing in the cone-crowned tops. With this
day came the closing feature of the day as
related to me.
The sun had almost set, and the heavy
shadows were gathering gloomily under
the pines, throwing their dark lengths
athwart the tranquil waters, when a car
rage came up the stumpy winding road,
and stopped at the door of the lumber
mans quarters.

Plain Truths for Plain HOusekeep-
(Tc be continued. }

Many piano dealers recommend cotton
flannel for busting pianos as superior to
anything else.
To keep the strength of the coffee while
it is boiling, plug the nose Of the coffee
pot with a wad Of brown paper.
Egg shells will clean vinegar bottles or
nursing bottles as well as shot, and they
possess the advantage of being always on
hand in every kitchen.
The whites of three eggs we'll beaten,
without any sugar, make nice frosting
for pudding. Spread Immediately before
carrying to the table.
A delicious breakfast cake is made with
rwo cupfuls of milk, two cuptuls of flour
and two we'll beaten eggs, to be baked in
scalloped dishes or patti pans.
II your child has the ear ache, turn a
drop of milk as hot as it can be borne in
into the ear and cover it quickly with a
bit of cotton batting. This simple RENE
dy has relieved many obstinate cases of
ear ache.
To clean carpets.-Go over them once a
week with broom dipped in not water
to which little turpentine has been added.
Wiring a cloth in the hot water and wipe
under pieces OF furniture too heavy to be
moved.
To tell cake in the even, never insert
a broom splinter, but draw it gently for
ward and put the ear close to the loaf; if
it Is not done there will be little sputter-
ing sound. When 1t is thoroughly baked
there will be no sound.
To nravant nia i,,ice from runninU ont
in the oven, make an opening inthe upper
crust and insert little roll OF brown
paper perpendicularly. The steam will
escape from it as from a chimney, and all
the juice will be retained in the pie.
To clean silver One half spoonful
soda added to eight quarts of water; when
at boiling heat dip the pieces of silver,
and Immediately wash in soapsuds, and
wipe dry with a piece of cotton flannel.
This method is recommended by one of
the largest britannia works in New Eng
land.
To clean hot water copper boilers.-Get
three cents worth of oxalic acid at your
druggists, put it in pint bottle and fill
it with cold water. Pour it over the
boiler while it is hot, rubbing it down
quickly with a cloth, and polishing it over
with dry piece of flannel. A large boiler
can be beautifully polished in five minutes,
and will retain its polish a week or more.
The bottle should be marked poison"
and should be kept out of sight and ordi-
nary reach. The amount indicated will
last for half dozen polishings Mrs.

for thirty-one years. That long time
ago she took fever while nursing sol
diers wounded in the Crimean war, and
has never recovered soundness OF
health. The story of her devotion to
the gallant fellows who cruelty needed
the attentions of skilled nurses is one
of the most beautiful in the records OF
philanthropy. ,
Miss Nightingale, daughter of vii
liam Nightingale, of Derbyshire, Eng
land. was born in Florence, Italy. on
May 3, 1920. She was educated by her
father, a gentleman of attainments.
Following the impulses of gentle and
sympathetic heart she devoted herself
to the practice of nursing the sick, and
had given herself training in hospitals
of England and Germany, when In
1854 the war in which England,
France, and Turkey were then en-
gagged against Russia gave her
the opportunity of doing the noble
work Tor which her name viii ever be
remembered in history. Taking with
her corps of trained nurses she went
to the front and administered to the
needs of wounded soldiers. When
after her return her fellow country
people presented her with ej0,00O rs
an acknowledgment of her invaluable
services she devoted that magnificent
sum of money to charity. Numerous
gifts, among them a cross set with dia-
monds given her by Queen Victoria
and bracelet set with brilliants pre-
sented by the Sultan Of Turkey, are
among the treasures of her elegant
home.
Eloquent utterances by leading
Americans voice the admiration with
which she is regarded in this county,
and her death will be sadly interest
ing event here, as in Europe and wher-
ever the account of her mission OF
Christian love has stirred the natu~a'
feeling of admiration for heroic devo-
ton to the interests of the needy. 1t

resided in Cremona, Italy, between
l7z0 and 1876. Besides these most
famous makers there were others very
highly esteemed. such as Gaspard al
Salo, Magini, and Bergonzi. Montaguani
txcelled them all by his rich varnlsll'
and also made some very fine ylolon-
cellos. About the year 1920 Nicoio,
Poganini, the first great virtuoso OF
the violin, commenced his collection
of the famous instruments, to which
reference is made in this notice,
and the discovery OF one OF MS
violins in Baltimore gives fresh inter
est to the subject. During his tour lu
France and England this wondrous
player succeeded IN obtaining seven OF
the finest yiolins to be got Tor money.
They consisted of one by Amati, two
by ctradivGrus, one by Magini, ana
three by Guarnerius, The greatest Ia
vorite Of these seven instruments was
the splendid specimen known as Guar
uerius del Jesu, dated 1913, and is now
deposited in the museum at Genoa.
The other six instruments were pre-
sentcd TO the finest artists of Europe
in 1S4O-viz., DE Beriot, Mayseder,
sphor, Molique, David and Ernst.
The writer has endeayored to
ascertain the whereabouts of these in
struments, but has succeededin placing
only two of them. The 'Amati, given
to DE Beriot. was sold in Paris about
twenty years ago to DIR. Prick, of Balti-
more, ut whose death the violin ard
other musical instruments were pre-
sented to the Mary gland Institute for
the Blind. Mr.. Albert, of Philadelphia,
has lately repaired the 'Amati, and
